that had to be an all time meltdown for the rockets to lose that game

up 6 with the ball under a minute left, they turn it over twice, fouled a 3 pt shooter and gave up game tying 3

cant even imagine what the rockets forum would be right now

Rockets with a humiliation ritual loss while the spurs come back on the road and win.

I'm so bricked a midget could do pull ups on it tbh.

If I'm Houston I'm cleaning house this offseason tbh. Fire Udoka and bring in an offensive-minded coach like Coach Bud or even see if the Clippers are ready to part with Ty Lue. Not sure I'd go all-in on Giannis but if you aren't trading KD you kinda have to; only untouchable player is Amen in that case. If not a Giannis trade I move Sengun while his value should still be high and see what the market value is for JSJ. Regardless, that locker room is toxic AF right now; can't just run it back and hope FVV fixes your issues.

The only issue I have is, are the Lakers really a better matchup for OKC? Either team gets their ass fucked tbh but I feel like Houston could have taken a game off of them. I don't see the Lakers keeping it within 10 in basically any game.

This is purely vibe based tho tbf

Lebron's been pretty damn impressive carrying this shitty ass team to a 3-0 lead at age 400 or whatever.

Lakers will win a game strictly by officiating tbh, assuming Doncic and Reaves are close to 100% by game 3.

BROOOO I've been wanting to talk shit about that but then I get flashbacks of 2013 and I really don't want to bring any bad juju for the Spurs.

Yes. I know it's nonsensical but anyone who's played sports at any level will agree. lol

i watched the rockets game... holy shit that was a hilarious meltdown

 

[Biggems]

The Rockets giftwrap victories for their opponents.

They put on an absolute clinic on how to turn sure victory into crushing defeat.

It’s the perfect matchup. The refs will short circuit because they won’t know which team to blow the whistle for more.

I really hate the Lakers, but having Lebron beat Rockets arses is fun.

yes, sure. but what about Marcus Smart....... crazy, man..... winning plays after winning plays down the stretch...... a 3, a rebound, a stop, a steal, steady ballhandling, smart plays..... waouh..... impressive.

 

[LeBowen]

I watched the 3rd and 4th quarter of that game, it was terrible.
Rockets looking completely lost, Lebron and Smart trying to make the Lakers look competitve enough for the Rockets to kill themselves, which is exactly what happened.
